Well here it is installed it over the weekend, so far I love it im sure everyone has read about it Kenwood DNX7100 got it for around 800. Looks great and works wonderful. What do you think?
Here I took an old acura headunit and cut the face out to cover up my screen if im parked somewhere for alittle extra security.
love the fake head-unit idea, saw that posted a while back.
How is the screen? I'm in the market for a 7inch (not 6.5) touch screen with nav, but preferably Harddrive nav, or at least a separate slot for the nav dvd
-The screen is very nice, granted its the first screen I have owned in a car but the quality is good and everyone else seems to think I did alot of research before I choice this model.
-The Honda tape deck humm I bought that radio off ebay last week for 12 dollars shipped lol.
-The install kit, well the front trim is off the Metra kit that is the only part of the kit I used.
-I am also used to a volume knob and im constantly reaching for it, but im actually really happy with the volume control it is really fast goes up and down in fast increments which was my concern. Also I have it connected to the steering controls and that works great too.
-The screen slides open like this basically, and so my bezel doesntt get in the way it did a few time while i was lining it up but i eventually found a good spot.
very nice install, I like the shifter, and lovin the decoy...i was sittin here sayin I don't want a double din screen because it'll attract thieves where I live and then BAMMMM!!! Decoy bitches...lol.
And what you said you "cut the face" of the stock head unit do you mean that you literally cut it out (no longer operational) or just removed face (still operational if you decide to put it back) .
The decoy deck was broken to begin with but if you had an old working deck that you didnt want to break I would suggest buying a cheap broken one first. Got one for 12 shipped on ebay
Nice work, Roger!!! Yes, the Kenwood fits better (deeper) than my Alpine IVA-W200. The Alpine can't be that flush by any method short of taking a sledgehammer to the back ... but that seems to compromise the audio quality a bit ... like to ZERO
Congrats on moving to NC as well. Chapel Hill was my old stompin ground ... Asheville is my future resting spot, but still a way off.
very nice Roger...I have the Kenwood DDX6019 and love it! I cant believe the fake h/u cover came out so nice, I'm all over that.
Bandoni knows - I'm currently using a "JDM" pillow....that's right, when I park, I just put a pillow over my H/U. Sure I guess people know SOMETHING'S behind it, but they just dont know what! lol - yes it's a temporary fix
and I didnt know you could hook up the steering wheel controls...little more info please? and I'm so jealous that you can change the wallpaper to that Acura logo...I dont think I have that option
